Nice. Had a squirrel get in mine.
Pop all the little push pins off and it will come down.
Got a thread somewhere showing how I put screen over the holes.

Now what do you do when you drop one of those little pins in the engine somewhere?

You search for hours or forget about it and buy a dozen on Amazon.
You can pop them off with one hand and catch with the other. Or put a sheet of plastic over the engine to catch them.
I almost lost one but luckily it fell through to the ground.

Use old bed sheets whenever I'm doing something like that under the hood, clean & easy

Can you find what I need to order from Amazon?

That's what I normally do, but as a rule only after I've already lost the first one!

Left a shifting spanner (crescent wrench to you guys) on the step on the back bumper a couple of months ago. It survived 2 trips to the train station, and back (30km round trip) and a run to the shops - about the same distance - and was sitting there in plain sight for two days, before I noticed it. Amazing!

Of course, the the tray is too high at the back and the slope forward must have kept it there. ?

I tried to summon the energy.
I failed like you did.

I never needed to order any. I'm sure if I pulled one of the pins and measured I could figure it out but it's cold out there.
Check with Benny @LevittownFordParts.com

It's gonna be one of the ones from the bottom row most likely. Compare to what you pull off your truck for best results! This comes with the tool you need to remove as well.
